School Board,

Sometime since while looking through
the City charter on school matters we
came in contact with the following
paragraph on page Ga:
SECTION 81. It shall be the duty of
the said Board in the month of March
of each year, to publish full report of
their doings for the proceeding year.
We have often seen the proceedings
of the school board published in other
cities, after each session of the school
board, just the same as we publish the
common council proceedings. In this
wise the people keep posted on the
official proceedings of the board, which
is just as it ought to be. AS it is now
board unless we apply to the clerk.
In accordance with the above facts we
made the board of education an offer in
writing to publish the official proceed
ings of their sessions Immediately after
each meeting. We have been patiently
waiting for some kind of disposition of
it. AS yet we have received no reply.
We are of the opinion that it would
be far better to publish the proceedings
Immediately after the sessions of the
board while the acts would be of inter-
est to the people, than to publish the
entire official proceedings once a year
in the month of March. This step on
the part of the board would be appreci-
ated by the people and would also
comply with Section q, of article 9, of
the city charter.

About that Seyver-pipe
TCorresDondence.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In its issue of the 7th
inst, the Wood County Reporter accuses
YOU of falsifying the facts in regard to
my purchase of the sewer pipe for the
use of the city. | stated to you before
that [ saved the city S20.10 by purchas-
ing from the Fox River Pipe Co. rather
than from Mr.. A. L. Fontaine, agent of
the Wausau Co.
The fact is that after figuring the
matter over again and from the price
list furnished to myself and to Mr..
Emile Lefevre by Mr.. Fontaine, agent,
adding freight from Wausau as given by
Mr.. Love the r. r. agent, | find that
the saving to the city has been S27. 80
hich [ am prepared to show to any
person wishing to inquire more mlnutely
into the matter.
The city of Centra]ia paid So. "a net,
fCr the same pipe delivered here, which
freight added, would have cost $109.75
had it been purchased from Mr.. Fon-
taine, at his prices.
So much for the iatters truth and
veracity. Yours truly,
T. PAIMATER, Mayor.
As we stated before, and repeat it
again, that no part of the above is the
truth, and we propose TO prove it. The
facts are as follows: We stated to Mr..
Palmatier that we would sell Sinch pipe
for IA cents per foot, and inch for 10
cents Our price for 10 inch is II cents
but we did not give him price on that
size. We also stated to HIM that the
freight on car would be $500 and if
he purchased a small amount it would
be % cents per hundred.
Now he purchased for Centralia 301
feet of inch, and 104 feet of 10 inch
pipe. He admits above, that it cost
him freight included) SS2.24.
Our prices as stated above on that
number Of feet would cost just S59.S2,
Now add $500 the freight for car,
which gives a sum of S74.S2. The
difference in favor of Wausau pipe is
S7.42. How he can state that he saved
the city of Centralia $3.50 is remarka-
ble
We called on him the past week and
found that he persisted in figuring
freight at p cents per hundred because
there was not pipe enough to quite fill
the car. So much for his saving the
city $27 80. If our, truth and veracity"
must rest on such fnanceering we are
certainly doomed.

A social hop took place at Mr.. Potter
last Saturday night. The evening being
a warm one, a few of the boys wished
to exchange their heavy coats for
crinkled-seersucker -cream---Dolly-

change was being made it caused quite
a stampede amoung the fair sex. They
evidently expected to see some
one knocked out in the first round, :"
consequently started for home "a foot
and alone" and being thoroughly
drenched and completely tired out their
unfortunate partners of the coat ex-
change managed to overtake and cap
ture them. Next time notify the girls
when you are going to make a change
in your toilets.
One day last week lady and her
father went blueberrying, hitched their

Wood County Iron.
milwaukee Mining Reporter.

Your correspondent has been invest
igating the discovery of iron ore in
Wood County, this state, and his search
having resulted in securing tangible
evidence of the development of new
wealth in that region, he feels confident
your columns will welcome the news.
The scene of the new mining sensa-
ton is in the northwest part of Wood
county, and particularly in the south
east part of town "a north, range 4 east.
The place isabout as near the geograph-
ical center of the state as it is possible
to draw lines. The discovery was made
last February. Two gentlemen of this
city, Abiel L. Bailey and Winfield
Bemis, while journing through the
region, had their attention attracted to
a well which, having been dug on one
of the farms, had been abandoned
because something was wrong with
the water" 1t was not good, and had
a reddish color. The people were afraid
to drink it. The State geologist had
granite" +" butan examination by Messrs.
Bailey and Benis showed quartzite
with indications of iron instead of
granite, and apparently an abundance
of red hematite ore. After looking
over the ground and consulting their
exchequer, they concluded to invest
and Immediately bought the farm, and
interested other parties so that at this
writing the Waupaca syndicate owns
thirty-three forties; parties in Wausau
have secured twenty years lease of
eight more, while body of prospectors
from Grand Rapids caught the infection
and also went to buying land, securing
options, negotiating for leases, and Mil
waukee men aided with both money
and brains.
The highest elevation in Wood county
is Powers Bluff, and this is all quar-
tzite. The country is generally rugged
and lines of the upheaval in the former
pitching generally to the north. The
ranges of ore thus far discovered tend
northwest and southeast, and run paral-
lei to each other through sections 20, 80
and 80. The finest hematite, of which
send you a sample, is on the north side
of the veins of qurtzite. This sample
was taken from thirty seven feet below
the surface. From that depth the shaft
was sunk to depth Of twenty-nine feet
through ore, and is still going down
with even richer results. Experts pro-
nounce the product of this shaft as
containingat least sixty per cent. of
metal. Several test-pits have been
sunk and a large body of men belonging
to or representing the different interests
are busy with pick, shovels and buckets,
digging and boring as the ever-increas-
ing finds develop.
Arrangements are being completed
for securing a railway track and facilities
and the erection of the requisite ma
chinery in order to begin shipments at
the earliest practicable moment. In
addition to this, the principal object of
the prospector' search, there have been
discovered lodges and even ranges of
freestone, soapstone, jasper and red
granite, all tending in the same direc-
ton. It would seem that the future of
the section is destined to be one of
wealth, without very much digging.

1t will be noticed from the above that
the stocks in this city are still high COM
pared with our sister city, yet the
Board of Review reduced them as low
as they thought the facts and actual
cash value would warrant. While we
believe Mr.. D. w. Compton is sincere
and actually believes the merchants
stocks in this city will warrant the valu-
alton placed thereon by him, we believe
the Board of Review will be sustained
in reducing the same, while the differ
ent towns in the county value their
property so low.
